P/S, a/c removal
Hi, i´m starting preparing my car to trackdays and i want to remove the a/c (not working) and the power steering (had a leakage so i disconected it).
My question is: what do i have to do to remove the oil pump of the power seering? (what do i have to do with the oil lines).
What other tips can you give me?
Thanks
pd: sorry for my english, i´m from chile

search for p/s removal, there is a thread that explains how to remove the p/s and put botls in the gear box to block the fluid from leaking, you also have to put a bolt in the coolant lines.
or do like the other 2 said and get a manual rack, if you can afford it. Me i just put bolts so nothing leaked out, get the same result. maybe not as good as the rack swap, but oh well.
rack = massave amount of work
bolts in the hols = 20-30 min of easy work.

ya. i have the engine out of my 89. i havent decided whether to leave the ps in or not. prolly gonna leave it in because i dont wanna deal w/ the bull of taking everything out. plus i hear that the rack steering in it is supposed to be the shiznat. just a word
the 2 bottom bolts i had a standard box wrench, it took forever to get them out but i did it. then i went out to buy ratchet wrenches lol.
